I've been looking for cheap entertainment while I wait for this winter's new game releases. One thing I have tossed around is fiddling with wow multiboxing again. In the past, all I ever ran in WoW was a duo in Burning Crusade. But recently I've picked up ISBoxer, and have used it with much success in other games (DDO and EvE).
From what I've read, ISBoxer really shines in WoW because the game is easier to multibox with (macros, follow, targeting, etc). I'de love to try it out on the cheap using Starter Editions for my slaves, and re-activating one of my normal accounts for the master. (Below is the restrictions according to Blizz.....)
The only thing that looks truely annoying is the trade restrictions. Not being able to trade between toons or use the AH is kinda a bummer, but I'm sure I'll cope. Is the list below still accurate? Is there anything else I need to know or plan for? I was thinking of having a Pally tank for this group. Would a pally work okay as a tank at these low levels? Or would a different class be better. (the rest of my party will be 1 heals and 3 casters, probably all shaman for my first attempt)
